Russell Gage Suffers Back Injury In Week 18
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (back) caught three of his six targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 18. However, he landed hard on his back on the play that he scored a touchdown, so his status for the wild-card game against the Dallas Cowboys this weekend could be in question. It's tough to know if Gage could've returned to action or if Tampa Bay simply held him out as a precaution in a meaningless game for postseason standings. Gage finishes his 2022 campaign with 51 receptions for 426 yards and five touchdowns. DFS gamers will have to stay posted for his latest injury updates.
Jan 9, 2023 • 7:46 PM | RotoBallerRussell Gage Remains Questionable For Week 13
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) remains questionable ahead of Monday night's game against the Saints. The wideout missed practice on Thursday and Friday because of a hamstring ailment and hasn't played since the Week 7 loss to Carolina. However, it appears he's trending in the right direction after logging a full session on Saturday. Gage has certainly fallen short of meeting expectations this season, catching only 29 passes for 231 yards while finding the end zone just once. Considering his official status for Week 13 likely won't be confirmed until Monday, fantasy managers shouldn't view him as a viable option in any format. That said, even if an update comes in before then suggesting he's a lock to play, he still shouldn't be starting.
Dec 3, 2022 • 9:08 PM | RotoBallerRussell Gage Limited In Practice Friday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice on Friday. Gage has not seen the field since Week 7 but appears to finally be inching towards a return after logging back-to-back limited practices this week. Even if Gage is able to suit up on Monday night against the New Orleans Saints, he will not project as a worthwhile fantasy option with the rest of the Tampa Bay receiving corps healthy.
Dec 3, 2022 • 2:26 AM | RotoBallerRussell Gage Won't Play Against Browns
Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 12 against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Gage hasn't played since Week 7 and wasn't able to get healthy during the team's Week 11 bye, so he'll miss yet another game this weekend. As long as the rest of Tampa's receiving corps remains healthy, Gage has no business being rostered in standard-sized fantasy leagues. Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Julio Jones will continue to operate as the team's top three wideouts against Cleveland. Gage has recorded 29 receptions on 40 targets for 231 yards and one touchdown in seven games with Tampa so far in 2022.
Nov 26, 2022 • 12:31 AM | RotoBallerRussell Gage Ruled Out For Week 10
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) has been ruled out for the Week 10 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The 26-year-old missed two practices this week as he continues to deal with a lingering hamstring issue. He hasn't played since Week 7 and it doesn't sound like he's getting closer to playing. At this point, Gage is a cut-candidate in most fantasy formats. Veteran wideout Julio Jones should see an increased usage with Gage on the sideline.
Nov 10, 2022 • 11:22 PM | RotoBallerRussell Gage Doesn't Practice Wednesday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday. He has not practiced since initially injuring his hamstring in Week 7 against the Panthers. The 26-year-old will have two more chances to practice ahead of Sunday's Germany game against the Seattle Seahawks. He has 29 catches for 231 yards and a touchdown over seven games in 2022. If active, Gage would be a borderline flex play in deep-league formats in a tough matchup against a Seahawks defense that ranks first against the opposing team's WRs3/4.
Nov 10, 2022 • 1:40 AM | RotoBallerBuccaneers Rule Out Russell Gage
Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said the team has ruled out wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) for the Week 9 game against the Los Angeles Rams. Gage will miss his second straight game after tweaking his hamstring in Week 7. The 26-year-old was a popular sleeper pick in early drafts over the summer, but that was before Tampa signed veteran Julio Jones to add to the receiver mix. Gage has caught 29 of his 40 targets for 231 yards and one touchdown, but he can be left to the waiver wire for now in 12-team leagues. With Gage out again this Sunday, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Julio Jones (knee) should serve as quarterback Tom Brady's top three receivers against LA.
Nov 4, 2022 • 4:37 PM | RotoBallerRussell Gage Misses Another Practice On Thursday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) missed his second straight practice of the week on Thursday. Gage suffered a hamstring injury in Week 7 and sat out of last week's loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night. The 26-year-old is trending towards missing his second straight game, so fantasy managers should be looking elsewhere for a flex option in deeper leagues. Julio Jones (knee) was back at practice on Thursday, so he should operate as the No. 3 wideout behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin if he's cleared to play Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. Gage has just 29 receptions for 231 yards and one touchdown in seven games in his first season with the Bucs. He should probably be on the waiver wire in 12-team leagues.
Nov 3, 2022 • 11:13 PM | RotoBallerRussell Gage Questionable To Return
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) is questionable to return against the Carolina Panthers in Week 7. He hauled in four of five targets for 39 yards before exiting. With both Gage and Julio Jones (knee) sidelined, look for Breshad Perriman and Scotty Miller to fill in behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
Oct 23, 2022 • 7:42 PM | RotoBallerRussell Gage Returns To Practice Thursday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (ankle) returned to the practice field on Thursday after being listed as a non-participant on Wednesday. Gage has mostly dealt with a hamstring issue this year, so the ankle injury is a new one. However, the fact that he's back at practice is a good sign that the injury isn't too serious, but his availability for the Week 6 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers is still in question. The 26-year-old caught just two of six targets for 20 yards in last week's win over the Atlanta Falcons. If he plays and Julio Jones (knee) sits, Gage will be in play as a WR4/flex in deeper leagues as the No. 3 behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. He hasn't done much outside of a 12-catch, 87-yard, one-touchdown performance in Week 3 when Evans, Godwin and Jones were all out.
Oct 13, 2022 • 4:50 PM | RotoBallerRussell Gage Will Play On Sunday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (back) will suit up for the Week 5 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. He was listed as questionable coming into this contest after getting through limited practices. Despite that, it appears Gage is healthy enough to get out there on Sunday. That is good news for the Bucs with fellow wide receiver Julio Jones (knee) inactive for Week 5. Gage should have a bigger role in the offense with Jones sidelined. He could be worth streaming in PPR formats as a low-end flex option.
Oct 9, 2022 • 2:58 PM | RotoBallerRussell Gage Downgraded To Questionable
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (back) has been downgraded to questionable for the Week 5 game against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Gage was initially removed from Friday's final injury report due to a hamstring injury, but he finds himself right back on it on Saturday with a new injury, which isn't a good sign for his availability this weekend. Julio Jones (knee) and Breshad Perriman (hamstring, knee) are also questionable, so there's a chance the Bucs receiving depth could be thin again against Atlanta. Gage caught 12 of 13 targets for 87 yards and his first touchdown with the team in Week 3, but he caught just two passes for 24 yards last week when Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Jones all returned.
Oct 8, 2022 • 4:10 PM | RotoBallerRussell Gage Limited On Wednesday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. The 26-year-old has been dealing with a hamstring issue since Week 1 but has yet to miss a game. He has caught 21 passes for 152 yards and a touchdown over four games in 2022. Gage is buried on the WR depth chart now that Mike Evans (suspension), Chris Godwin (hamstring), and Julio Jones (knee) have returned to action. Gage is expected to play but will see a dip in targets and is a boom-or-bust flex against his former team, the Atlanta Falcons, in Week 5.
Oct 6, 2022 • 12:55 PM | RotoBallerRussell Gage Active On Sunday Night
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) is good to go for Sunday night's meeting against the Chiefs. The 26-year-old was dealing with a mild hamstring issue, although he has been trending toward playing all along. Mike Evans (suspension), Chris Godwin (hamstring), and Julio Jones (knee) are also active, so Gage's fantasy ceiling is limited. However, deep league fantasy managers should still consider him a flex option, especially after he had 12 catches for 87 yards and a touchdown in Week 3 against the Packers.
Oct 2, 2022 • 11:17 PM | RotoBallerRussell Gage On Track To Play Sunday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) is on track to play against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4 despite being listed as questionable, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Gage's return also coincides with the returns of Mike Evans (suspension), Chris Godwin (hamstring), and Julio Jones (knee), meaning the Bucs should have plenty of reinforcements at their disposal for Sunday night's game. With hefty competition in the offense, Gage should be viewed as a WR5 in fantasy football this week.
Oct 2, 2022 • 12:26 PM | RotoBallerRussell Gage Questionable For Week 4 Against Kansas City
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. He was limited in practice throughout the week but is expected to suit up for Sunday Night Football. The 26-year-old has been dealing with a hamstring issue and has been on the injury report every week since the start of the season. Tampa Bay's receiving core could be back at full strength this week as Mike Evans (suspension), Chris Godwin (hamstring), Julio Jones, and Gage could return for Week 4. Gage will look to build on his impressive Week 3 performance; he caught 12 of 13 targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in a loss to the Green Bay Packers. Gage is considered a flex play but could be a strong starting option if Godwin or Jones, who are game-time decisions, are ruled out.
Oct 1, 2022 • 1:06 PM | RotoBallerRussell Gage Officially Active For Week 2
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) is officially active for Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints. He was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday, entered the weekend listed as questionable, and will now officially suit up on Sunday. Gage is in line for a major increase in snaps with both Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) sidelined. He figures to be the No. 2 wide receiver behind Mike Evans and projects as a low-end WR3. If you're in a pinch at wide receiver, Gage represents an intriguing option.
Sep 18, 2022 • 4:22 PM | RotoBallerRussell Gage Returns To Practice
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Gage played 42 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 1 win over the Dallas Cowboys and caught both of his targets for just 13 yards. When all of the team's receivers are healthy, Gage is going to be the No. 4 wideout in Tampa. However, Chris Godwin (hamstring) is unlikely to play in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints, and Mike Evans (calf) and Julio Jones (knee) have yet to practice this week. Even if Evans and Jones suit up this Sunday, Gage is in line for a much bigger role in the passing attack. He's worth considering as a WR4/flex with upside in Week 2.
Sep 15, 2022 • 4:46 PM | RotoBallerRussell Gage Catches Both Targets In Week 1 Win
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) caught both targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He missed the entire preseason with a hamstring injury but was able to suit up for Sunday Night Football. The 26-year-old could see an uptick in targets in Week 2 if Chris Godwin (hamstring) cannot suit up against the New Orleans Saints. He signed a three-year, $30 million contract this offseason but is behind Mike Evans, Julio Jones, and Chris Godwin on the depth chart, making him flex play in deep-league formats against the Saints.
Sep 12, 2022 • 4:29 PM | RotoBallerRussell Gage Will Play On Sunday Night
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) will play on Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys. Gage had been questionable heading into this one. However, with Chris Godwin (knee) also active, Tom Brady will have a plethora of options to throw to. While the presence of Godwin, Mike Evans, and Julio Jones could certainly lower Gage's target share, managers in deep fantasy formats should still keep him in mind.
Sep 11, 2022 • 11:40 PM | RotoBallerRussell Gage Likely To Play In Week 1
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) was listed as questionable for the Week 1 season opener against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night, but the Tampa Bay Times' Rick Stroud writes that Gage is likely to play despite the questionable tag. Gage was limited in practice all week and has been working with the team since the end of August. With Chris Godwin (knee) likely to be limited or out in Week 1, the Bucs could be rolling with Mike Evans, Julio Jones and Gage in three-wide sets against Dallas. The 26-year-old was a popular breakout candidate in 2022 before the Bucs signed Jones this summer. If Godwin is out on Sunday night, Gage will serve as a WR4/flex for fantasy managers in deeper leagues.
Sep 10, 2022 • 4:13 PM | RotoBallerRussell Gage Officially Questionable For Week 1
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) is listed as questionable on the team's final injury report for Week 1. Chris Godwin (knee) is also questionable, but it seems as if there may be more optimism for Gage to suit up against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. The fourth-year wideout has logged limited practices all week and could be an important piece of the offense right away if Godwin is forced to sit. Fantasy managers with options in the earlier games may want to play it safe, but Gage will have some flex appeal if declared active.
Sep 10, 2022 • 1:34 AM | RotoBallerRussell Gage Remains Limited On Thursday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) was limited during practice on Thursday. The 26-year-old has been limited in back-to-back practices, which means he's questionable for Week 1. To be fair, Gage has been dealing with this hamstring issue for several weeks. He is worth keeping an eye on in fantasy leagues with Chris Godwin (knee) still recovering from ACL surgery. Although, Mike Evans and Julio Jones are much stronger fantasy options. Gage might be worth streaming in Week 1, but this hamstring issue makes him a risky choice. Fantasy managers should check back on Friday to see if Gage can get in a full practice.
Sep 8, 2022 • 10:41 PM | RotoBallerRussell Gage On Track For Week 1
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout Russell Gage (hamstring) recently confirmed that he's trending toward being available for the Buccaneers' Week 1 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. The 26-year-old has been battling a hamstring injury for several weeks but made his return to the practice field this past week. Gage is coming off of a solid year with the Falcons, where he caught 66 of his 94 targets for 770 yards and four touchdowns in 14 games (nine starts). The fifth-year receiver was recruited in the offseason by quarterback Tom Brady and was considered a strong breakout pick prior to the Buccaneers' acquisition of Julio Jones. Gage could still be a decent asset for fantasy, but his splash performances will be unpredictable due to the plethora of receiving weapons in this offense.
Sep 3, 2022 • 3:54 PM | RotoBallerRussell Gage Misses Another Practice
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (leg) continues to observe practice from the sideline. He was spotted in street clothes during Thursday's practice session, according to Jenna Laine of ESPN. Once viewed as Tampa Bay's potential No. 2 wide receiver, Gage has fallen down the depth chart due to his own injury, Chris Godwin's recovery, and the signing of Julio Jones. Gage should still be rostered in most redraft leagues, but his allure as a mid-draft sleeper has faded over the past few weeks.
